The custom action isn't the problem it is all the regular files put down by the
installer that don't roll-back

Hi there,
No what I mean is:
I have an MSI which installs files by dropping them in specific directories.
It then runs a custom action which may mail.
If it fails, the MSI reports there has been a problems and the progress bar
goes backwards. Normally this is the point where it will
Guys,
I have finally got the CA working but when it fails the files (placed down by
WiX) do not "roll back" as they are supposed to - i.e. they are still on the
drive. How do I get this to work?

Hi All,
Basically when we have detected what version is on the client, we copy over the
existing application directory into a backup folder, run an SQL Server upgrade
script, if this fails we copy the backup to where it came from, if it succeeds

Hey Guys,
I have spoken with my boss and he has given me the rationale for what we are

My C# is pretty solid. Do you have any examples or URLs that show what you are
suggesting?

My boss doesn't want to use a batch file as he wants it all to be done through
an 'MSI' file to look slicker - so I suppose I have to ask - is there really no
way to delete temporary files in WIX?
Is there not a way you can create a file (in much the same way you would create
a regular file ins
I agree
The problem is that I can't be sure people will have Nant on their system, so I
have to make sure it gets dropped.
Aaron mentioned I would need an additional custom action - any other
suggestions or does that look like the main contender?

Ps Thanks again for your help.

Hi Aaron,
I have tried that but unfortunately because Nant has so many DLLs and files it
uses through various directories, when I package the lot up in the BInary table
I get an error.
I guess I will need an additional custom action.
Thank you fory our help, I really appreciate it.
